My wife & I visited SF for the 1st time & stayed at Hotel Emblem next door. We noticed so many people coming in to this place we decided to look it up & see what the fuss was about. Seeing that it was named one of the top 50 best bars in North American, we had to check it out! We came in a Thursday night in mid-April about 9:45 PM. They have security outside thar checks IDs & also manages the queue in case the bar gets too crowded. We had no issues getting in, but there were zero indoor seats available - both the bar & table seating. Thankfully, they have a really cozy & well-lit patio area. The waitress let us know that even the outdoor patio has table-side service, so we made ourselves comfortable on the outdoor bench & within seconds she had brought us waters & cocktail menus. Weather outside was really nice, so I'm glad we actually sat outside. Each cocktail is $20, which definitely is a little steep, but I think the creativity, quality, & prestige of being named a top 50 bar supports the price. Each part of the menu is organized by liquor ie whiskey, vodka, brandy, gin, etc. We tried 4 drinks total. I only took menu photos of the pages we ordered from but they have a lot more selections. We ordered the Kung Fu Pandan, Silky Street, Rice Rice Baby, & Tropical Gangsta. We had some favorites over others, but all were very well crafted! The drinks came out pretty quickly considering how busy it was. The only hiccup was our final drink took quite a while. Turns out the ticket machine malfunctioned & deleted orders put in & caused a back-up. The waitress was so apologetic & ended up comp-ing 2 drinks, which she definitely didn't have to but it speaks volumes to the high standards they hold themselves to & their customer service. Overall, highly highly recommend checking this place out for a fun night out or post-dinner treat! Glad we made the decision to stop in! read more

The cocktails here are always so tasty. I love the vast menu and the Asian influence on their drinks. Street parking but can walk from the Ferry building or other bart stops with enough resolve lol. Bathrooms - 2 single occupant bathrooms in the back. Always clean and big spaces. Service - friendly and attentive. They kept the drinks and water going consistently! Make sure to bring your physical id! They check at the front~ read more

Yes yes yes!! Drinks are so delicious. The vibes are 100% it. I love how they utilize their space very well--to fit in people comfortably, they even have bar counters even in the back. This bar is featured in the list of top 50 bars in North America and normally I feel like those rankings are rigged but no..this place definitely deserves a spot there! Service was also great! Bartenders were all friendly and they were so sweet about changing my drink when I wasn't feeling a tequila base. read more

I don't do cocktails...but when I do, it's always PCH! They have the most creative, tasty and mind-blowing cocktails on a good day. Service is spectacular as it's modelled after Francis, Manager Extraordinaire. The list is long...there's a drink for everyone. Be sure to arrive with your ID. I won't even talk about their Christmas setup. That's on a whole other universe. PCH is home to my favorite pandan drinks. It's always a great time here. read more

I love PCH and recently came by for post-dinner cocktails. It was busy on a Saturday night and a bit loud inside so we sat outside which was comfortable. I appreciate that they have servers outside as well to take your order and I got the rice, rice, baby which is one of my favorite cocktails in the city with rum, toasted brown rice and rice milk. The flavor is unique and I love the toasty rice aroma! read more

The ambience in here is so vibey, it's perfect for a night out with friends or a date night. You can't go wrong with any drink here. Honestly, highly recommend this place!! read more

Caveat: This review update is ONLY for the Miracle at P.C.H. holiday pop-up. I recently stopped by during the Miracle at P.C.H. holiday pop-up on Christmas Eve. There was quite a long line of people waiting to get in, but it moved relatively fast. There was a guy collecting a $10 cover fee per person via cash or Venmo, presumably to offset the cost of decorations and specialty ingredients for their holiday menu. The cover charge is exclusive to the holiday pop-up and does not apply during regular business hours during non-holiday times. Once we got inside, we saw how packed the bar was. There were no available tables or bar seats and barely any room to even stand. We were handed their exclusive holiday menus (their regular menu is unavailable during the EOY holidays), and eventually someone came by where we were standing to take our order. Since we only planned to get one drink each, I informed him while checking out that I'd close the tab. Each holiday cocktail is $20 plus fees and tax, so after accounting for fees, tax, tip, and the original cover charge, our two drinks cost in total over $70! $70+ for two drinks is absolutely ridiculous, especially considering that my drink was at least 75% ice, so I basically paid for frozen water. I came to P.C.H. because I genuinely love this bar and their unique, delicious drinks during normal operations, but their holiday pop-up is the complete opposite of a "miracle". It's an expensive, chaotic disaster. I would not have come had I known for sure their regular menu would be unavailable. Their holiday drinks don't do the bar justice. I will never come to P.C.H. again during the holiday season. It was an unfortunate lesson learned the hard way, but once is enough. I also want to note I don't think any less of the bar or its employees, who are exceptionally professional and friendly, but the burden of putting on this holiday spectacle undoubtedly puts extra stress and pressure on them. There are absolutely no net benefits to staff and patrons from this annual holiday extravaganza. read more

Came after Christmas on a Saturday at 3:30pm and it was busy enough that there were no spots inside but plenty of outdoor seating. Love that the outside feels just as festive as the inside, with the fake snow blowing every 20-30minutes. I had the coconut hot chocolate and it was so tasty!! There's really nothing like a hot drink when it's cold out. read more

One of the best cocktail bars in the city. Every drink is thoughtfully and carefully crafted, not just mixed and poured. Yes, it is on the pricier side at around $20 per cocktail, but imo it feels justified given the creativity, quality, and overall experience. Coming here around the holiday season is especially magical. The entire place is transformed and decked out in Christmas decorations with from wrapped presents scattered throughout to festive details around every corner.. even the bathroom has its own Mariah Carey theme, with her face plastered all over the walls all while blasting "all I want for Christmas is you" on loop. All the cocktails lean into the holiday spirit too, drinks come in cute Santa mugs, or dinosaurs dressed like santa, they even had a Hanukkah themed glass which was a really nice and thoughtful touch. Everything felt playful and somehow still polished. The service was also great, esp since how packed the place was. each group had a dedicated server who kept the drinks coming quickly . I was impressed with how they remembered who got what especially since people were constantly moving around. bonus points for being dog friendly, theres nothing better than sipping a festive cocktail while spotting doggos dressed up as reindeer and elves. read more

Amazing cocktail bar on a regular day, AND special bonus for the holidays is the spectacular Christmas pop up bar they become. SO cute inside and the holiday cocktails actually taste delicious. There's usually a line to get in, so plan accordingly. The earlier the better! But it's good crowd control so you're not squished like sardines in there. read more

What a hidden gem this place is. Nestled next to our hotel we walked by this unassuming cocktail bar. Once I saw the drink menu, I knew we had to try it. The drinks are expensive, but you get what you pay for. Top tier cocktails in an elegant and chill environment. Bartenders were experts in their craft. No food served here, that's the only downside. Lite snacks or just appetizers would really elevate the experience here. I wish I had a place like this by me. read more

Stumbled across Pacific Haven while looking for a quick drink and ended up finding one of my favorite bars in SF. There's some street parking around, but we parked in a nearby garage. Once you walk in, the vibe instantly hits. Dim lighting, chill atmosphere, and great music. Super relaxing, gives speakeasy vibes. We sat at a small table near the bar (you can seat yourself), and I loved that they take your order at the table. No crowding around the bar, which is a huge plus. We both ordered the Pornstar Martini, which comes with a shot of dry wine on the side that you can use to either to mix in if the drink's too sweet or sip on separately. Honestly, the drink was so good we just kept ordering more and that ended up being our drink of choice for the rest of the night. Service was excellent. Our server checked on us often, super attentive without being overbearing. You can tell they really care about giving everyone a great experience. Also, minor detail but they would frequently check the restroom to make sure it was clean and that's something I really appreciate especially since it was a one stall restroom. Highly recommend Pacific Haven if you're in the area. I'm definitely coming back! read more

Oh how nice it is to be in San Francisco and see its recovery post-COVID. The holidays this 2025 finally made me hopeful and seeing PCH during their holiday/Christmas popup reaffirmed that. Came on a Saturday night, saw the line and decided to walk around. The area isn't ideal and there wasn't much around, but we circled back and so glad we did! Was visually striking from the outside with the lights and ornaments, but how beautiful on the inside. After paying a $10 cover/person (cash/venmo ok), we walked in and were immediately greeted by a waiter who handed us a menu. Service was great, he circled back around and after ordering gave us free will to walk around and told us he would find us with our drinks, which he did. All the drinks are $20 with a few gifts like holiday PCH shotglasses on the menu too. Quite pricey, given that for the two of us, a drink each came out to be $70 +tax/tip, but I figured it was to cover all the decor. I ordered the coconut hot chocolate since it was a hot rum drink and I love getting unique drinks that I can't find elsewhere. Was really yummy! Overall, just a great vibe, saw a lot of corporate personalities even dressed up! Should definitely come check it out once during the holiday season, I'll come back to check out their regular menu read more

Pacific Cocktail Haven is an absolute standout in SF, especially for their Asian-forward flavors and creative ingredients. Their Vesper is easily one of the best we've ever had--perfectly balanced and crisp. The Silky Street and Kung Fu Pandan were also major highlights; both perfectly hit the spot for unique, Asian-inspired cocktails read more

The three stars are for the patient servers who let us try things to see if we hit our sweet spot and find a fav. Unfortunately we didn't. The drinks, as they advertise are not meant to be "sweet" but in doing so I feel they straight up taste like ethanol. They're very spirit forward even ones that aren't advertised as such or even ones I usually like. If you like neatish liquor Forward drinks, ignore my review read more

Four of us stoped by before a concert around 8pm on a Saturday. It was lively but we were able to walk in and grab a table right away. There are servers so you don't have to go up to the bar to order which I appreciated since it prevented lines. All cocktails are $20. I know this is normal for SF but it's definitely more than I usually spend on a drink. I did end up loving what I ordered though (Silky Street - Song Gin, amaro, jackfruit-coconut cream, sudachi, longan, pandan) and would come back just for this drink! Overall enjoyed our time here :) read more

Out of all the Miracle pop ups I've been to, PCH does amazing on the Christmas decor. It is kind of scammy though that they are charging $10 cover when we went on a Tuesday at 7pm. The bartenders are very unfriendly - lowkey ignore you when it wasn't busy. The prices are also higher here for the cocktails and the mugs compared to other Miracles. There are other Christmas bars I would rather go to in the city with better vibes. read more

After a dinner with coworkers, we all decided to pop into Pacific Cocktail Haven. After walking in, I knew this was my kind of vibe. The lighting, the music, the bar all caught my attention. I then realized PCH had been recognized as one of the best bars in the world. There is clearly a reason why. I ordered my go-to cocktail - a dirty martini- which came with a sidecar. It was divine. The bar was pretty busy and our large group arrived close to last call. They were friendly and while the bar was slammed, our server (I think Luis) kept us updated on the status of our drinks. As we know, good cocktails take time. If I lived in the area I would find myself here for sure. read more

Came here for a quick drink with a group of friends. There is limited seating inside, but we were able to snag a table. The interior of this place is dark, classy, very vibey. They have unique drinks and a good collection of different liquors, however they don't have some of the name brands and instead offer lesser known brands, probably small batch and less mainstream. I would say this is a nice place to stop by for a drink! read more

Went here on a Thursday night and it was super cool. Very cute vibe and the service was nice. The bar wasn't too packed there was till places to sit.

Overall this bar is definitely worth checking out! The drinks are spirit forward, which doesn't align with my taste but my friends really enjoyed them. The ambiance is nice and the dim lighting gives a more intimate feel. Sometimes it gets pretty crowded so don't depend on getting seating as you'll likely be standing most of the time. read more

Perfection. It's hard to find a bar in SF that is clean, has a nice vibe and serves drinks that is worth the price. PCH ticks all the boxes Ambiance: 10/10 Love everything about the decor, perfect amount of lighting - just a modern, clean, classy vibe with Asian/tropical-esque accents Service: 10/10 I've been coming here for years and it's always a treat when Francis is there! Somehow he always remembers us and takes the time to come check in on us and makes us feel at home. There are also other servers around that are so good about noticing when we finish our drinks and come check in to see if we need anything. Drinks: 10/10 My go-to is the Thrilla in Manila. I usually would never drink whiskey but it's this perfectly creamy, sweet and tangy concoction. I also tried the Kinako Sidecar and wow... there was a depth of rich flavors paired with the sweet kinako powder and it just makes you feel so warm and good! Definitely adding it to my list and still making it my mission to try all the drinks on the menu!! read more

Pacific Cocktail Haven never disappoints, but our experience was especially elevated thanks to our server Antonio. Antonio was incredibly knowledgeable and personable, and he really took the time to guide us through the holiday menu. One of his recommendations was a festive seasonal cocktail with "Rudolph" in the name (I can't remember the full title, but it was a holiday special) -- perfectly balanced, playful, and honestly one of the best seasonal cocktails I've had. It felt thoughtfully crafted, not overly sweet, and totally on theme. My friend ordered a holiday-inspired cosmopolitan-style drink, and Antonio made sure it fit her taste preferences exactly. It was cranberry-forward, smooth, and beautifully done -- a great elevated take on a classic. Service throughout the night was attentive without being overbearing, and Antonio's energy made the whole experience feel warm, welcoming, and memorable. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does and takes pride in making sure guests have a great time. If you're heading to Pacific Cocktail Haven, definitely ask for Antonio -- he's the kind of server who turns a great cocktail bar into a standout experience. We'll absolutely be back. read more

We came here at 8:30pm on Saturday and expected to wait to find a seat but we easily found a seat for 2 people in the booth area. The vibe is very cute for catching up with a small group and the music was pop throwbacks which I was a massive fan of. The bar also started filling up a lot before we left around 9:45. The drink menu is awesome and very expansive! I was very conflicted on what to try but I got the Hey Seoul Sister which was very savory and clean to drink. My partner got the Turn Down for Nut which I liked even more! The service was very good. I let our server know that we were celebrating a birthday and he brought us 2 small piña colada drinks and a little cake with a candle! This was far more than I expected for a bar and I really appreciated the effort. It also might be the piña colada I've ever had! read more

What a beautiful bar - bumping on a Saturday night. My favorite thing is the beautiful gated front patio seating, on both sides, there's seating for groups and or small groups. The don't patio is surrounded by living plant walls, which is gorgeous! Inside is very lovely but depending on what your scene is, it can be too crowded. The 3 of us enjoyed the fresh air and gated front patio. Fun crafted drinks and attentive service. read more

Excellent cocktail bar. Not so much a tiki bar, just to set the expectation to my fellow tiki-lovers - there is no kitsch, there are no fish tanks, there is no abundance of rum-based drinks. But you have a very modern and classy bar with amazing cocktails with all sorts of bases. No wait on a Monday around 8:30pm. They never got too busy in our couple hours there. They are strict about carding everyone at the door. I couldn't decide between the PCH gimlet and the Tropical gansta after talking to our bartender about what I like in a cocktail. She asked if she could surprise me, which I took to mean she would make up a cocktail for me, but then she made me BOTH drinks! What awesome service. * Fo' swizzle - 4 stars Sweet with bitter undertones, and spicy. Starts out sweet then astringent - it's interesting. Tastes a little of aperol. * PCH gimlet - 3 stars Kind of medicinal tasting, a lot of licorice, with papaya. Quite spirit-forward. * Tropical gangsta - 4.5 stars Really enjoyed this. I expected it to be quite heavy but it was light, not too sweet, had texture from the egg white. A little nutty, a little tart, very well balanced. * All Thai'd up -4.5 star Every sip takes you on a journey! Sweet then tart then licorice then herbacious then sweet again then spicy. Every sip is different, on some you get more of some flavors than others. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by P.C.H. before catching a musical at the Curran Theater, and it ended up being the perfect pre-show spot. Super convenient location -- just a short walk from the theater. He ordered a Pornstar cocktail (from the vodka side of the menu) and I got the All Thai'd Up (from the tequila side). I don't remember the exact names, but both drinks were so good -- super flavorful and surprisingly strong in the best way. We both caught the perfect little buzz right before the show started, which made the night even better. The vibes inside are cozy, intimate, and aesthetically on point -- candlelit tables, sleek modern decor, and a hidden gem feel without being pretentious. It's such a great spot for a casual date night or pre-show drinks if you're around Union Square. Definitely coming back! read more

You know that one neighbor that always tries to one up others in their Christmas lights and displays? Pacific Cocktail Haven (PCH) is that neighbor...hella extra, in a good way. Kickin' myself for waiting soooo long to visit. This year was my first visit to the 8th Annual Miracle at PCH and they take "festive" to the next level - floor to ceiling decorations with ornament arch entrance, christmas trees, wreaths, twinkling lights, lighted snowman + gift boxes, ornaments, wrapping paper decor, fog machine, snow show every 20 minutes, Christmas songs playing and more. Every corner of the bar is covered in decorations and took the staff 12+ hours a day for 5 days to decorate. Clips: https://tinyurl.com/te4uu4st https://tinyurl.com/3b7amzk7 https://tinyurl.com/bwuumzsr Can't expect anything less from award winning PCH that's been named one of the Top 100 Bars in the World and North America World's 50 Best Bars. What To Know: * The pop-up concept: Miracle started in 2014 in NYC and partners with various bars globally to serve holiday cocktails in a festive vibe. * Pop-up runs through 12/31 every year. * $10 cover per person that goes to charity (this year, the $ is going to a dog charity). Cash or Venmo only. * Walk-in only. * It gets crowded so come before 3 pm to snag a seat. * Rezzies available for 6-12 people on Tock for the outdoor patio only. There's a drink minimum (e.g. $250 min for 6-9 people) + 22% service charge. * If you can snag a table/spot, there's servers who will take your order. * Outdoor patio is winterized and covered from the elements. * Dog-friendly BUT inside is too crowded and may be overly cramped + loud/sensory overload for dogs. M E N U Miracle holiday themed cocktails: $19 and shots: $8. Their regular menu of Asian-inspired cocktails are $18. Only some regular menu items are available during their holiday pop-up. Inquire with staff on availability. D R I N K S * Leeward Negroni: Sipsmith VJOP Gin w/ coconut washed campari, pandan cordial, bitters (Regular menu -$18): https://tinyurl.com/4m9y7smk First, how cute is this little furry koala wearing a "miracle" vest hugging the pandan leaf?! And, you get to keep this clip on hugger. Spirit forward with an herbaceous bitterness mellowed out by the coconut/vanilla-y pandan. Served over a custom big ice cube etched with PCH. To nitpick, it was a wee bit sweet for me because I'm usually the straight up shot, neat, or on a rock kinda person. Nonetheless, I enjoyed it. * Christmapolitan: Vodka w/ elderflower, dry vermouth, spiced cranberry sauce, lime, rosemary, absinthe mist ($19 x3) Not my drink but I had a sip and was really impressed at how balanced the holiday cosmo was - boozy with fruity and tart notes a kiss of warming spice. * Sipsmith VJOP Gin, shaken w/ twist ($18? x2) At 57.7% abv, I was surprised at how easy it was to sip with prominent juniper notes and a citrusy finish. I appreciate the little touches like serving it in a cold frosty glassware. This may be my new fav gin...if I could find it other bars. S E R V I C E Positive vibes all around from the staff. Our server, Sara was awesome and considering how busy it was, she was always there when we needed her for another round. Loved that she was wearing a custom sweater of her pommy, Simba. Prompt drink service. A M B I A N C E More lounge-y than bar. Preferred the outdoor seating (not as loud). P A R K I N G Do not park at the left side of Sutter between 4-6 pm. Your car will be towed. Nearest garage: 450 Sutter ($10/hour). Overall, fun holiday pop-up with solid cocktails and great customer service. It would have been too chaotic for me if we didn't come early to snag a table outside tho. Next up, Sippin' Santa at their sister bar: Kona's, named after the owner's dog! =) read more
